    Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1/2/70 captures the Grateful Dead as they make their first foray from the experimental 60s into their early 70s acoustic Americana period. Yes, this one is a little bit country and a little bit (psychedelic) rock and roll.

    When the "Magnificent Seven" - Pigpen on percussion, T.C. on keys - first took the stage on 1/2/70, evidence was clear that the trip was about to take a turn. From their western wears to the twang in Jerry’s “broken-string blues,” it appeared they'd brought the Bakersfield sound to the Big Apple. They worked through much of what would become Workingman's Dead, stunning the crowd with laid-back numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "Casey Jones," and "Black Peter." Just the same, they satisfied 60s stalwarts with magical versions of "Dark Star," "St. Stephen," and "That's It For The Other One." Sonic alchemy, indeed!

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, ​New York 1/2/70 has been rounded out with a bit of 1/3/70 (the subscribers-only bonus disc features the bulk of 1/3/70). It was recorded by the great Owsley "Bear" Stanley and has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    This recording features it pretty well. Top five live Dead experiences for me. Heads all empty and i don't care indeed.

    Re: Greg as a Blues Singer

    I couldn't agree more, L.D.

    Just a snipped from Wikipedia on the topic.. I love the just sing your guts out comment by older brother Duane.

    Duane felt strongly his brother should be the vocalist of the new group (which effectively eliminated Wynans's position, as Gregg also played keyboards).[19] Gregg left Los Angeles and entered rehearsal on March 26, 1969, when the group was rehearsing Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More"[20] Although Gregg was initially intimidated by the musicians, Duane pressured his brother into "singing [his] guts out."[21]

    P.S. KF, who said the riding mower is broken? It's working fine, but it runs on mushroom dust and the mileage is not great.. it only gets a couple years per cap / stem. I think I broke out the original Avatar recently.. but I sort of prefer Peabody and Sherman. Perhaps I am dating myself.

    Five to One baby, One in Five......

    Oh by the way, I put out a trivia question last week when Five to One came up for discussion: What two guitar players used Robby Krieger's guitar solo on each of their own two original songs (hint - both guitar players came from groups who have sold millions of records). It was Ace Frehley of KISS and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam. Ace used it on the song She; McCready used it on Alive. Little bit of trivia I picked up over the years. The funny thing is that Mike McCready and Ace became friends many years later. As the story goes, Mike finally got up the nerve to tell Ace he stole his solo, to which Ace blurted, "Aack! Don't sweat it Curly, I lifted that one from Five to One.""

    Wait a minute....hold the phone......as I'm writing this completely interesting Paul-is-dead-type of rock trivia piece, I'm realizing there are some odd coincidences at work here:

    * The KISS song She is featured on KISS' album "Alive"
    * The song Alive contains the lyric "she" - five times......Ladies & Gentlemen - we've come full circle.

    I dug the Allmans. The first show I saw of them was at Red Rocks with Dickey and Warren Haynes on guitar and Allen Woody on bass. Jaimoe and Butch, and of course, Gregg. The whole time I was pinching myself going, holy shit that's Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts up there.

    To my ears Gregg was one of the finest blues singers ever and I'm not going to qualify it by saying "white." The man just oozed soul and I miss that gravelly delivery and world weariness. He was expertly cast as drug dealer Will Gaines in the movie Rush, as well, for those who haven't seen it.

    The Derek Trucks/Warren Haynes era was killer, as well. Gregg gradually sobered up and put more energy into his performances. For anyone interested, Berry Oakley Jr., Devon Allman and Duane Betts are now fronting a band:

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/allman-betts-band-new-…

    Last, I'll just say it's meaningless to compare the Dead with the Allmans. Much overlap, and much difference. All good if you ask me.

    Hey Jeff S

    Thanks again for the cover artwork. I failed in The Other One mission. I too only took mental notes, and I was harried by the Dave's Picks 30 release. I can however, say without reservation, that the Other Ones from Europe 72 sound nothing like the pair on the new Dave's Picks 30 - but you already knew that ;-)

    I think the only one I heard from the month of May was the Paris show on the 3rd. Oh wait, I also listened to Luxembourg. That one was really hot. Probably not news, but the one from Hundred Year Hall was a work of art. I usually have an easier time getting into them when they split them up into multiple parts, but that April 26th performance felt more like a Dark Star when it came to the improv parts.

    I remember the opening show had a great one, split into a 19 minute first segment and an 8 minute second segment; the 8 minutes of part 2 is a rock and roll Fest all the way (crank it up) that goes right into Wharf Rat.

    I remember the Dead in Denmark on 4/16 was short but awesome. There are two 3 minute segments with Me and My Uncle in between. The first segment is positively unique in that it's little more than Jerry playing the main theme softly while Pigpen adds some cool atmosphere with the B3 and Phil plugs away at the bass. Keith can also be heard playing notes here and there - always a pleasure. Nice transition into Me and My Uncle and then they go full boar Other One for another 3 minutes, where Bobby lays down the verses. The only explanation I can think of for the short performance is that the Truckin' had a 16 minute Jam after it. I guess on stage it was all The Other One to them.

    I remember the New Castle show from April 11th is a really good one. The first 15 minutes was a combo of Other One theme music, up-tempo rockin improv, and a nice 5 minute taste of Feeling Groovy. Then they get a little Spacey and atonal, but not for long. Before you know it they're doing "Space Jazz"; I don't know how to explain it other than it sounds like half of them are still in atonal Space mode while the other half pick up a Jazz jam. If I had my musical wits about me, I'd probably say Billy and Phil went Jazz while the remainder stayed lost in Space. But it worked. It was like this gradual emergence from the real outer Space into the atmosphere - pretty bumpy at first, but eventually things smoothed out. Then they finished it off with The Other One reprise and concluding verses. The whole thing rounded out at..... I want to say 25 minutes, and then right into a superb Comes A Time.

    And that was one more great thing about this tour. When you listen to it as a whole, yes, there is some repetition, but it's broken up nicely by other elements, like the rarely played Comes a Time, Lovelight, UJB, Dire Wolf, You Win Again, Caution, Sitting on Top, Rockin Pneumonia Hey Bo Diddley, Brown-Eyed Women, etc. And then the longer pieces are full of their own unique moments, which serves to mix it all up and keep things fresh. Great stuff. If Jim ever gets the wayback machine repaired, I'm going to wildly urge them to get St. Stephen, The Eleven, and Bird Song incorporated into a few shows.

    *Re/ ABB

    ... I’m long time fan of the ‘ABB’ as well. The recent ‘Bear’ recordings from the Fillmore East released this past year was a grateful & welcomed release! I don’t listen to them that often any more, I usually get in the mood around late summertime or when around the band would begin their ‘Beacon Run’ ... I remember when the band released their Atlanta Pop Festival performance on CD, man I played that album for months, morning noon & night lol I was captured not only by the bands performance but the “Primo Audio Quality!” I played it proudly and loud...
    ...I was Dickey Betts guitar roadie for awhile in my younger days! This was around the time he ran in trouble with the law for punching/fighting with his ‘Ol lady’ / wife at the time. We had a gig planed for the next day in Tappan, NY at the long gone ‘Kelly’s’ Pub, now renamed and different owner. We didn’t know if we would make it because of an arrest warrant but in the end the show went on! The Marshall Tucker band Opened for Dickey Betts and they gave the crowd a primo performance! I was in charge of Dickey Betts 6 different guitars, on stage left , just a few feet away from Dickey so I could hand off his different arsenal of instruments and Cold Beer! Very Cold Beer lol if it wasn’t cold enough Dickey would just toss them into the crowd, sometimes unopened and others with a swig missing lol ha ha lol, by mid-set my left was so numb & cold by dig’n deep inside what was a garbage can turned into a giant cooler filled with Budweiser/Coor’s beer & ICE! Lol...Grateful memories from those days. Vassar Clements also came aboard for a ‘Special Treat’ with his infamous fiddle playing, what a concert. I have a soundboard Of this concert in my collection. Haven’t listened to it in ages, I think it’s time to pull it out of hiding and give it a listening after all this talk of ABB , thank you All for your ABB posts, got my nose to itch :) 🙏❤️😎

I've just finished the ripping to WAV, file tagging, cheap art-working, and phone uploading of DaP 30. Takes f@#king forever. Now I shall listen - but first - here is preliminary album art. I say preliminary because these are cheapies that I sourced from a very close up camera-phone picture, followed by some MS Paint cropping. I have no scanner. If you just can't wait for the premium scans from our good friend Agent Smith, try these on for size. I know I will be replacing these as soon as I have "the real deal" from you-know-who.

Most of his list has now been released either through Dave's Picks or 30 Trips, and of course Sunshine Daydream, but I'll still choose 11/17/71 over 12/14. He may have known 11/17, may not, but 12/14 and 12/15 are certainly more famous shows. I had heard both multiple times prior to DaP 26, preferring 12/15 for its Dark Star (just listened to it again, and that was a quick 20 min). I admit being a SBD snob, so I had overlooked 11/17. But I'd have to say since a year ago, it has been the most played Pick of the last 4 years for me. That Other One with its several different thematic jams is unbelievable and the NFA> GDTRFB> NFA is my favorite of that combo. It's better than the 11/15 Austin one from the Road Trips series, IMO. But either way, Mr. Paumgarten should be happy because he got that show minus Ramble on Rose (interestingly the 11/17 on Archive has Ramble on Rose listed as the encore, but it's tracked as the Set 2 opener on DaP 26, hadn't noticed that before). Though I do wonder whether he would revise that opinion and say that 11/17 was better. I don't recall listening to his 1970 Pick 6/24, but the later run at the Capitol with 11/8/70 only available in AUD is a stunner, and I would bet on that 6/24 being awfully good as well. Something about that theater.

Nick should do a follow up on how 7 years later most of those shows are released, and how he thinks the vault releases have been managed. There's been stuff put out that nobody really had like 7/1/78 (that I actually prefer to the Red Rocks shows), the complete 8/25/72, 2/2/70, Thelma 12/10-11/69, and he ignores 1967-68, which means he misses 11/10/67. It's been a great 8 years of releases! Wonder what he would think of DaP 30... And what do those who have received it think? Fingers crossed it's here tomorrow.

Great to have my DAP 30 so soon, I agree Tom is very prominent in the mix and the shows are well mixed, I am not upset about the track running orders, as I feel we are lucky to get the 2 shows over 4 discs, this arrival today meant however that I didn't get my anniversary listening of the Olympia show, we are spoilt bunch really.

Anybody else get a shipping notice with a dead tracking number? I called yesterday after trying to track and the girl said it wouldn't be active until today because May 3rd was the release date. Today my tracking number just says unrecognized.

edit: another day and still nothing. Anyone know what 237 carrier is for a shipper? Mine doesn't say USPS or UPS like the last shipments have.

Ostrich. 18 Minute Las Vegas Bird Song from 91? Virginia City is not in Virginia.

I think I am going to have to run this through Googles Quantum Computer or I will be up all night again....

....but usually I can just click the tracking number link on my email and it takes me right to the mailing site. No link this time. Need to copy and paste. No luck on either UPS or USPS sites. Says invalid tracking number. Wierd. And the Hurricanes sweep the Islanders to go to the final four. Amazing....
....and yes. Virginia City is just south of Reno. That was a Bird Song with Carlos Santana sitting in. Please don't tease me. And Vegas does get flaming hot....

I was listening today. First several are hotter than I remembered. Also prefer 11/17. That 12/15 Dark Star is a nice freebie. As in sounds great freebie. 11/17 to me is in the same class as Road Trips 3.2 11/15/71. The 11/14 Bonus is in the same class. Exceptional run.

5 Stars.... Dont want to ruin it for anyone, but (spoiler alert) Your gonna Love this (these) release(s)!
It's just classic...not just the timing (Workingman's) but the recording captures great banter that really puts you front row, or stageside, for two hot NYC shows.
Thanks Bear!...per the booklet write up (the Foundation)... Bear, you will never be forgotten or not appreciated. I look fwd to all of your precious recordings from every artist that allows them to be released.
Thanks to you too Dave & Co for this (these!) gems!

My shipping mail had a (clickable) link. UPS states "Clearance in progress" at 03:58 EST this morning. Presumably it is about to wing it's way across the pond.

Edit: Now it turns out that the clearance referred to is prior to departure from Cologne, Germany so it has already crossed the pond and it may well be delivered to me in the Netherlands on Monday. Certainly is quicker than expected.

Here’s my own ( limited brain power ) thoughts - looking back at previous record day store releases ( with the exception of wake up to find out - which had already been put on cd for one of the spring 90 boxes ) they have only ever been released on vinyl with no further output later in the year as a box . However the Warfield release has been given an immediate mass produced CD release along the same lines as Cornell ( pre get shown the light ) & believe it if you need it ( pre PNW ) elementary my dear Watson .
Of course I could be barking up a tree that’s in a different forest altogether . 😺😼😺😼

It was late, I hadn't ripped them yet, and I knew I was probably only going to get through one disc before I fell asleep.

Its good.

The track ordering is weird tho. Alligator - Drums - Alligator- Feedback sequence is tracks 2-5. You can hear Jerry say "Goodnite folks, thank you" at the end of it but then there's still half the disc left. If they're gonna mix up the order anyway why not put that at the end so it at least *feels* like it was one continuous set.

Nitpicks tho.

Did anyone else order the T shirt? Any word on that arriving ?

I won't speak lubricious about it but will just say this Disc 3 is great great great. God bless the Alchemist. I like the picture of the crowd at the Fillmore East. If you look closely you can see one guy holding his head with both hands. I am sure he is tripping to disc 3 in that pic. Have a great weekend to all. Enjoy your 5 hours of 1970. Does anyone know if these were in the recovered batch of tapes? If not, how did they keep this one from us so long!

bobt - I like that line of reasoning!! I think you're on it! Great shows at Alpine from start to finish. Sort of my home stomping ground, with many fond memories. The 8/7/82 China -> Rider is the best post-hiatus version - change my mind ; )

I missed the 89 shows but if I remember correctly from the account of a friend there was epic rain nights 2 and 3 and people were body sliding in the mud down the ski slope by the 3rd night? (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.)

That 4th night of '88 that UJ61 referenced a few days ago was a wild one. A gift lost recovered. Lots of memories, though hard to say at this remove if they are all "accurate." I was about 6 rows out directly in front of Jerry. The Believe it of Not was tears-in-your-eyes emotional after the problems of the previous night. Couldn't have been a truer, more heartfelt, moment for its debut. And the Morning Dew was Over. The. Top. Pure expansive beauty. I remember 2 folks jumping on stage during the closing jam. First a guy just stood motionless right in front of Jerry, like he was watching the hand of god. A roadie walked him off and then this girl climbs up on stage and sits right down in front of Jerry - once again transfixed and enchanted. Jerry doesn't flinch, he's just tearing it up, playing for them and into them and everybody. Everything, everywhere, all at once. Sent home on the gentle waves of Blackbird and Brokedown. Wrote about all this a few years ago (gdhr 555).

Really looking forward to DaP 30 - arriving here next week I guess.

Enjoy the weekend everybody!!

The Warfield vinyl was 10,000 and the cd 6,000 I believe. They did a limited (unnumbered) cd for 11/18/72 AFTER it was released for Black Friday RSD. Those Hofheinz cds were on sale here for a good long while before they finally sold out, now they go for around 100 bucks. So, grab the 2 cd set of the Warfield for 20 bucks while you can!

They played an early and late show each night at the Fillmore East for this run, hence the goodnight being after Feedback for that set. There was an encore following that sequence, too. But Bill Graham had bands do an early and evening set at the Fillmore East. The ABB put out a complete box set of their early and late shows that produced their classic Live at Fillmore East a few years ago, they mainly repeated their sets with little changes, but they had a much smaller repertoire. Thankfully, the Dead changed up the sets completely. Hopefully people bought tickets for both shows.

The tapes are from Bear's collection/Owsley Stanley Foundation. My first assumption had been they were more from the Houseboat Tape collection, since most of the tapes given to the Godchauxs were Bear recordings from this general period, but the credit in Dave's video and the liners is the Foundation. Which is good news, because it represents another source for tapes that may be missing from the Vault, and in an exciting period.

I got an email from UPS to say that it was being delivered on Friday. Being away I changed the date but they delivered it anyway according to my neighbour who checks while I’m away! Only trouble is I have two subscriptions (one I get for a friend) and only one has turned up!

....the mailmans eta is in approx 1 hr. Tracking info still not helping. Spinning Hawaii in the meantime.
My mailbox does have a slight glow to it however. Optimism vs Pessimism. A battle as old as time.

Just listened to Dave's Picks Volume 30

Disc 3 has one of the grooviest, cooliest ,spaciest, "Dark Star" I ever heard!

Really a superb edition of Dave's Picks!

Thank You!

The UPS driver was there at my front door when getting home from work yesterday. What could be cooler than that? Well, the artwork for the bonus disc for one! To share a few thoughts that popped up last night with an initial listen of January 2:

--love the way Jerry digs and twists the melody around in his Cumberland solos

-- very nice TOO > Cosmic Charlie segue

--I never really thought of DIre Wolf as a 'folk song', but I hear now how those roots are there (I still didn't sing along though)

--Me & My Uncle has a slight spaghetti western quality to it, kinda goofy, but in a good way

--Dark Star......from deep space found myself roused into a Tighten Up samba jam which sounded like it had hints of what later would become Eyes, and much, much later, Foolish Heart, which was easily the highlight for me. Always great to make those connections that span decades!

Is it just my copy or are all the vocals coming from the right speaker. Very soft on front left side. Is it just my copy or is this throughout? do I need to get in a Bear state of mind to listen to this. Shit drives me crazy.

...it was in my P.O. Box this morning...drove back to work very very slowly...the "St. Stephen > The Eleven..." scared off all of the wildlife...

.... definitely underrated. Mailman is late. Maybe he busted it open already!
Nappy Rags. The Dead also control how my foot is applied to the gas pedal. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Fivebranch called out a nice Cumberland. Cool.
Hey Nappy!! You live in the Grand Canyon area, right? If you get on your pony and ride, you could make the Phil show. I have a spare room.

Mine DP 30 arrived today. Uploading now.

Soon, I will have an aged single malt in hand, a cool spring breeze, and the Dead playing over my yard.

As it should be.

....I wonder if he got a re-entry stamp on his wrist in the Mos Eisley cantina? The fur may pose an issue.
Apologies. I multitask....
